  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Plant an Herb Garden
    Consider the ways you can garden: a plot of land? a patio container? hanging basket? windowsill gardens? What would work best for your living situation and lifestyle?

    I planted my own herb garden at the beginning of the week in my kitchen. I will eventually move the plants to a patio container when they are large enough. One day I hope to have enough land that I can grow a larger garden, but a small herb garden is perfect for the time being. Also, one of the plants started to sprout!

      I am growing basil, cilantro, oregano, and rosemary. Rosemary is the only one that hasn't started to sprout yet. It's so fun to see their progress every day! I also planted some seeds from a tomato I ate and now I have five tiny tomato plants growing too!
